Fans of Best of the Web Today-
Michael Smith shared a link.
"You just have marvel at the ignorance and gullibility of people - maybe it is because they are already stoned. 
I've been watching the process of legalization of recreational marijuana for a while. 
It has been sold to the teeming masses of tokers as a libertarian, "it's my body, you can't tell me what I can't put in it" proposition - but it's all a scam.
Let's just think about this for a minute:
1. The same people in government who want to legalize pot are the ones who want to stop you from using tobacco (they really don't want you to stop, but we will address that shortly).
2. It will eventually be tightly regulated - California already bans smoking in bars, restaurants and many public places - there have been bills sent to the Governor proposing bans on the beaches. Some cities ban smoking anywhere a non-smoker could congregate, including parks, public sidewalks and apartment complexes.
3. Pot will be taxed. Already projections are for the pot industry in California to be a "$5.1 billion boost to the California economy" - guess what else gets boosted? California state and local tax revenues to the tune of over $1 billion..."
Read it all!
The market for marijuana in California will hit $3.7 billion in 2018 alone, and that's expected to increase to over $5 billion by 2019.
